Bars & Clubs in Guangzhou

Until recently Night Clubs in Guangzhou was restricted to the Chinese businessmen.
These business men, in search of relaxation and recreation, took refuge in the karaoke
lounges staffed by "hostesses" and "singing companions." Recently,
the situation has been improved with the opening of more pubs and restaurants. As
one of the first Chinese cities that were opened to the outside world, Guangzhou
is definitely a pioneer in introducing fresh overseas trends in the field of entertainment.

Night Clubs in Guangzhou do not only entertain you with music and dancing, it also
serves the best of drinks. Apart from tapping your feet at the rhythmic beat of
the band, you can watch the exclusive performances often staged in such night clubs.

Huanshi Lu Bar Street

When partying on Huanshi Street you will mingle with the local expatriates who live
and work within the vicinity. Each weekend, popular clubs Boxcar and Color Riot
are packed with mostly foreign faces. People spill out into the street causing quite
a scene; the hustle and bustle might even remind you of New York or London. There
are even many places dedicated to watching soccer/football matches where the fans
get quite rowdy. This is a land free of borders - truly international.
